Nothing - all perfect.

A slice of heaven in Dullstroom
Pros:

It was so quaint and charming, and our bedroom window overlooked the dam. The fireplace in our room was a delight, the bed was big and comfortable with lovely bedding. We had the 2nd last unit at the end which gave us privacy.

The restaurant is beautiful, with views of the dam. The location is splendid as you can walk into town.

It's really pretty here! A little slice of heaven in Dullstroom.

Cons:

Getting into the shower was tight as the door was right next to the toilet. My partner is large. The shower door was broken. So water went all over the toilet seat and the floor.

The parking is very far from our unit. We had to walk quite a distance with our heavy luggage when checking in. But the views made it worth it. There was not much light outside leading to our door at night. But we used our phone torches.
